VICTOR BORGE - IN CONCERT AND ENCORE

Trailer

Synopsis

Victor Borge, the master musical wit and 'comedian of the keyboard', is captured at his hilarious best in this special London concert performance recorded in 1979. A child prodigy who gave his first piano recital at age eight, the Copenhangen-born Borge moved to the U.S. and combined his piano prowess with a penchant for comic one-liners, a unique cross between stand-up and high art that saw Borges reinvent classical music. Performing with the 70-piece Wren Orchestra in the Grand Hall of the Wembley Conference Centre - with American soprano, Marylin Mulvey - Borges takes the musical mickey out of Chopin and the great composers in a laugh-out-loud spoof filled with his trademark double-takes and double-entendres.
